Weird. I've done quite a bit of work to this car. Alternator, both oxygen sensors, all 8 coil caps, and more. I have the NASCAR motor oil in it, and try and take really good care of it, but it's just coming apart at the seams it seems.

Car is losing power accelerating. Loses power going up hill, and I can floor it, it won't shift and get up and go. VERY strong smell of gasoline, and tonight started getting a lot of blue smoke. Don't think getting a code is going to work on this one. Any idears? TIA.

A vacationing penguin is driving through Arizona when he
notices that the oil-pressure light is on.* He gets out to
look and sees oil dripping out of the motor.* He drives to
the nearest town and stops at the first gas station.* After
dropping the car off, the penguin goes for a walk around
town.

He sees an ice-cream shop and, being a penguin in
Arizona, decides that something cold would really hit the
spot.* He gets a big bowl of vanilla ice cream and sits down
to eat.* Having no hands, he makes real mess trying to eat
with his little flippers.

After finishing his ice cream, he
goes back to the gas station and asks the mechanic if he's
found the problem.* The mechanic looks up and says, "It
looks like youīve blown a seal."

Didn't you just say you were planning on dropping $50k+ on a new Vette? WTF are you doing with this heap of shit if you've got that kind of coin to blow ona sled?

If so it smells just like it tastes when burnt.Posted via Mobile Device

Sounds like a compression/leak down test is in order.
Quick test I like is to use my spark plug to compressor adaptor, roll each cylinder around to TDC then pump compressed air to it and listen for leaks. Itíll lose some air to the crank case due to ring end gap but if itís losing a lot itís a broken ring(s). If it starts blowing bubbles in the radiator itís a blown head gasket or cracked/warped head. If it starts blowing through the exhaust itís a burnt exhaust valve, through the intake same song different verse.
